Having gone to about 20 different physios/sprint coaches with chronic bicep femoris tendinopathy for four years. Going through isometric and eccentric loading plans, technique improvement etc. the 2nd biggest improvement came from really getting a vigorous deep stretch in eccentric stiff legged deadlifts. Beyond what most athletes would typically do for strength. It probably wasn't the best for power/strength or to a lesser extent hypertrophy, but my god that putting fibers to maximal stretch under load really did the job, and not just analgesic/pain relief. No other exercise could get past the tendon shielding that occurs and most exercises tend not to hit the distal connection but proximal.. maybe im ranting, maybe this helps someone doing physio for rugby with chronic tendonopathy...
As a Physio who has experienced the same tendinopathy, the hamstrings don't respond to the same rehab pathway for normal tendinopathies I.e loading plans. I found PNF stretching most beneficial. In a sense your stiff leg deadlifts have acted in the same way with contraction at end range.
Isometrics have done wonders for my knees. I've been doing HEAVY, dumbbell single leg wall sits and they were the missing tickets after having trouble on and off with my knee tendons.
How would you include eccentric tempo work for someone training alone, before hitting diminishing returns? 1-2 sets of 5-10 at lighter weight, at the end of the working sets? 6-0-0 tempo? Bench, RDL, Squats, Pullups, etc
Hey guys, can you shoot a demonstration video on the correct RDL for back that you teach? I've watched the old video explaining RDL vs SLDL multiple times and I'm still not quite sure about the details. Everyone else teaches RDL as just SLDL and advice to focus on hamstrings and avoid back (and say that they don't in fact differ, that they're just a different name for the same exercise, maybe a minor knee bent) so it might be worth it to have a demonstration with the explanation. Just for you casual trainers: don't ask a guy or two to push down on your bench press. You want them to be ready to pick the bar up if you can't lift it. They probably don't get the idea of extra loading eccentric on the bar safely.

Thank you for sharing 🏆🏆🤝🤝
Great video, I'm currently using eccentrics, and isometric holds as part of my rehab for a ruptured hamstring tendon.

Great vid. Bummer you missed out on that S. Korean bodybuilder doing rugby drills though.
GREAT Video, thank you 🏆🏆🏆
These videos are absolutely excellent, thank you.
Loved the video as usual! any chance on a video about s&c for racket sports? Thanks!
Great video!
Will there be video about throwers and their relations to weightlifting?
Thank you.
We certainly can!
8:50 could also buy some weight releases

Tendon health hitting home right now unfortunately 😢

Fitz straight outta bed on this one?
